I was lucky enough to play A & Major Division Fastpitch Softball for 16 seasons, highlighted by play in 1 Olympic Sport Festival and numerous National tournaments. In the early 80's I was selected 1st team all Northern California for three consecutive seasons, and won many All Tournament and MVP trophies over this span of time.

I left the game when my family was young to focus on being the best Dad I could be. I had offers to coach at the High School and Jr. College level, but time would not allow as my real career in Broadcast Managment had to take priority.

When my daughters picked up the game I willingly jumped back in. I soon realized how much I missed it and was amazed to see how many of the guys I played with and against were teaching the game. From High School to D1 college and even a current asistant coach on the 08 US Olympic team.

The information that I post is tested and if taught properly will deliver positive results. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy providing it.
